Why do I get cravings for Pizza and/or salty snacks early in the morning?

[MichaelD]

This is driving me nuts. For years now, I get cravings for either pizza or pretzels/peanuts early in the morning. Not first thing, like 0530 when I get up, but right about 0830-0930...around there. Yes, I'm Italian, so that might explain the pizza-thing....NOT. Seriously, what is going on?

I've read enough to realize that when your body is craving something like salty snacks, it prolly means you aren't getting enough salt. I refuse to believe this. Why? Well, it's kind of icky, but when I sweat (which I sweat a lot and easily at that) and the sweat dries, I'm left with "salt rings" on my Tshirt. Really. You can see the outline of the "sweat stain" where it dried...and it's white. Ick.

Interestingly enough, I never crave sweets. I'm not a big sweets eater, either. I'll have a chocolate bar (Snickers or somehting like that) maybe once a month.

Just curious to see if anyone else has this problem?

I used to love it when my ex had a craving for a salty snack in the morning.

I can't believe no one else has diagnosed this yet, it's obvious you're pregnant!

Sheesh, I'm always the LAST to know anything around here! Teeheehee. I just had a small bag of "Four Cheese" Doritos. I now have deadly Dorito Breath. But I satisfied both my cheese and salt craving....at least until around 1300 or so.
